TWU Chamber Music Night

What is a classic? A Beethoven piano trio or a Kansas rock anthem? Decide for yourself at Chamber Music Night! Music lovers of all ages will appreciate the wide variety of affordable entertainment from Trinity Western University?s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC). Beginning with Beethoven?s exquisite Piano Trio in E-flat, the program slides into the 20th Century with popular music by SAMC?s three-piece acoustic guitar ensemble, and lands in the 21st with the TWU New Music Project. The tenderness of Beethoven complements the mellow melodies of John Mayer and Jason Mraz, while the third ensemble brings the best of both worlds with contemporary classical music. The TWU New Music Project, an adventurous ensemble of strings, winds, and percussion, plays a fusion of groovy, colourful fare including three new works by up-and-coming student composers Rob Workman (Abbotsford) and Vincent Clements (Langley). Featuring: Ignus Piano Trio, coached by Heilwig von Koenigsloew Guitar Ensemble, coached by Tim Olsen TWU New Music Project, coached by Paolo Bortolussi Presented as part of the Festival of the Arts, Media + Culture, March 23 - April 9.
